    Loved it Gareth, what a tour. Just one thing I meant to point out on your last video - you're not really supposed to pedal going down hill, its for getting your breath back.

      Downhill is when I’m most likely to exceed my HR limit! I can’t help it - I love that floaty feeling of speed! Many thanks John.

    Superb Gareth, wonderful history in such beautiful places, the only treacle I like is on toast.
    Certainly not long uphill climbs….thanks for another great adventure

      Need to get to the bottom of that…though it may have been a rubbing front disc, now rectified. Just need to find a long drag to test it…many thanks Ian.

      I was pretty excited when I spotted them on Google Maps. By the time I got there I’d all but convinced myself they’d be gone! Just some private collector…I’d love an old plane in my garden…a DH Vampire, maybe…

      I just looked online and found one, straight away! Runs, doesn’t fly, but parts included to get it flying again, £55k!

    Nice video Gareth, entirely enjoyable! By now you've probably already remembered, but the MIG 21 codename was "Fishbed"

    • @yakoridesagain
      @yakoridesagain  4 месяца назад

      I did, I got as close as knowing it wasn’t ‘Fisheye’ at the time and it still wouldn’t come. Troubling! Thanks David.

    Good fun. I presume Mrs Yako was pressed into service again. Loved the siege story with bread and fish. Migs in a field is mad.

    What a surprise to see the Soviet Jets! Yes floggers and foxbats. Names starting with F for fighters, B for bombers, H for helicopters. Two syllables for jet powered,one syllable for prop or turboprop if I recall

    • @yakoridesagain
      @yakoridesagain  3 месяца назад

      Never knew that about the syllables but seems right - Bear/Backfire - thank you!

    Best history lesson for a long time, beautiful views and castles. Long enclosed corridors to p*ss in, well maybe in the UK. You really should be working for the Tourist Board.

      @yakoridesagain  4 месяца назад

      You know, I never thought of that…Witches Street really would have reeked of pee in the UK, no doubt about it. I’ll try to do the next one in Catalan…maybe the Tourist Board would go for it then….many thanks Sir.

    Gareth I admire your efforts in getting passing shots of yourself on the bike in the heat and sometimes when you’re climbing , presumably you have to place the camera and do a ride by and then recover your equipment ? Unless you have a secret assistant .

    • @yakoridesagain
      @yakoridesagain  4 месяца назад

      No assistant Mark, though it would be handy! Yes, the ride-bys can be a chore but I like including them…

      I’ve recently upgraded my cam Desi, but yet to stick the ‘dead cat’ on it, like I did with the old. Apparently it has a baffled mike…but I’ve yet to find out how to switch to that one!
